Set time/date

Fri May 05, 2017 3:07 am

Hi I know this is probably an obvious question but I have searched the interface and Google but can't seem to find how to set the time/date?

You can either set the switch up to use an NTP server through the GUI on the device -> configuration tab, or you can set it yourself:

1: Device -> Console

2: type cmd <enter> to drop to a linux shell prompt

3: type date -? , follow the onscreen instructions.

Note that setting time manually through the date prompt will not persist between boots, so you'll have to set it again every time you reboot - not recommended, NTP is better, you can learn more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol

The best thing to do is use an NTP server and you configure the NTP server on the Device/Configuration TAB (top right side)

Either the switch needs access to a public NTP server which means your switch needs access to the public net from being behind a NAT or it is a publicly routed IP (which I do not recommend).

Or do like most WISPs and run your own NT service on one of your devices so your infrastructure equipment can reach it on an invalid IP such as 172.17.XXX.XXX

Well I assume you are running the latest firmware v1.4.8?

Tens of thousands of people using NTP service including me at my WISP so we know the service works and this is not a bug so it comes down to either your config in the switch or something else in your network.

Would help to see your Device/Config TAB.
